5:1  Therefore, be imitators of God, as beloved children.
5:2  And walk in love, just as Christ has loved us and has given Himself for us as an offering and a sacrifice of a sweet-smelling savor to God.
5:3  But do not let fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness even be named among you (as is also becoming to saints),
5:4  nor filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor coarse joking (which are not fitting); but rather the giving of thanks.
5:5  For this you know: that no fornicator, nor impure or covetous person, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ, and of God.
5:6  Let no one deceive you with empty words. For the wrath of God comes upon the children of disobedience.
5:7  Therefore, do not be companions with them.
5:8  For you were once darkness but are now light in the Lord. Walk as children of light.
5:9  For the fruit of the light is in all goodness and righteousness and truth,
5:10  approving that which is pleasing to the Lord.
5:11  And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness. But rather, even expose them.
5:12  For it is shameful even to speak of the things which are done by them in secret.
5:13  But all things, when they are exposed by the light, are made visible. For it is light that makes all things visible.
5:14  Therefore it says, “Awake, you who sleep. And stand up from the dead. And Christ shall shine upon you.”
5:15  Be mindful, therefore, that you walk carefully - not as fools, but as wise -
5:16  redeeming the season. For the days are evil.
5:17  Therefore, be not unwise. But, understand what the will of the Lord is.
5:18  And do not be drunk with wine (wherein is wastefulness). But, be filled with the Spirit,
5:19  speaking to yourselves in Psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord in your hearts,
5:20  giving thanks always, for all things, to God, even the Father, in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
5:21  submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
5:22  Wives, submit yourselves to your husbands, as to the Lord.
5:23  For the husband is the wife’s head, even as Christ is the head of the Church. And the same is the Savior of the body.
5:24  But, as the Church is in subjection to Christ, so also let the wives be to their husbands in everything.
5:25  Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ loved the Church, and gave Himself for her;
5:26  so that He might sanctify her and cleanse her by the washing of water through the word,
5:27  So that He might make her a glorious Church to Himself, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing. But that it should be holy and without blame.
5:28  So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife, loves himself.
5:29  For no one ever yet hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Lord does the Church.
5:30  For we are members of his body, of His flesh and of His bones.
5:31  For this cause shall a man leave father and mother and shall cling to his wife. And the two shall be one flesh.
5:32  This is a great secret. But I speak concerning Christ and concerning the church.
5:33  Yet, let every one of you do the same. Let everyone love his wife, even as himself. And let the wife see that she fears her husband.
